    Default Gullwing charger trucks on a arbor sizzler deck?

    i am looking for trucks meant for sidewalk surfing, but i still want to be able to go down hills going about 20mph, and i want to be able to power slide and carve. if i were to put the gullwing chargers trucks on a arbor fish tail (sizzler) deck would these trucks do the job?

    Any brand can be good. The thing you want to look into is bushings. They will really determine how your trucks perform. I would recommend cone shaped bushing for a surf like ride. Maybe a cone and barrel combo. What duro bushing you go for is determined by your weight. I have 85a duro Khiro bushings and I weigh 150lbs. I don't do much sliding but I do plenty of carving. Are there better trucks out there? Yes by individual opinions, like I prefer Randal myself (having tried chargers and not liking them). Others will tell you different though. So there's my 2 cents. Hope it helps.
    Current:

    '09 Landyachtz Spud - Bear 852, Otang In Heat.
    '09 BC Eel - Hybrid 215, Potang Durian.
    '10 BC Moray - Hybrid 215, Retro FreeRides Classic.
    BC Prototype Barracuda Kick - Independent 169, Luv Yo Mutha Soy Speed.

    Past:

    Original Apex 34 - Original S6, 3dm Cambria.
    Arbor Koa Fish - Randal 180, Seismic Speed Vent.

    remove your hangers and polish the pivot point on each so there is no moulding or casting marks that will eat up your pivot cups. a small file would work fine, it doesn't have to be a mirror finish.

    i did that with my chargers and they ride a lot better now.

    you should be fine at 20 mph. i'm comfortable on mine at 30 and i have gone faster for short periods. and i have the stock bushings.

    i really like these trucks for carving and mild bombing.
